A Brave Yankee Soldier.

''The bravest Yankee soldier I ever
saw" says Hon. Henry w. Flournoy,
secretary of the commonwealth of Vir-
ginia, participated in one of the fights in
the valley of Virginia. 1t was during
Sheridan's raid in the valley. Our COM
pany of cavalry was going across broad
and level field at a sweeping gallop. In
the woods 1 saw solitary Yankee soldier
sitting upon horse, and I noticed that
every now and then Gust as fast as he
could load he would fire down our line.
Pop, pop, pop would go his rifle, and de-
termined to capture him. entered the
woods without his seeing me and came up
in the rear of him. l had fine seven
shooter in my hand and intended to use it
in case of an emergency. Irode up toward
him as quietly as 1 could and had my pis-
tol cooked ready for use if he attempted
fight. Suddenly he turned and saw me, and
in an instant raised his rifle. / leveled my
pistol, but he was quicker than !, and the
ball from his rifle passed through my neck.
A few moments afterward there was a
general skirmish, but was badly wound
ed, and did not know what became of the
fellow who shot me and who stood solitary
and alone in the very face of whole COM
pany of Confederate cavalry and resisted
them.-Chicago Times.

Queer Titles for Inventions.

In looking over the list of patents re-
ferred to an element of mystery as well an
element Of humor, seemed to relieve its
somewhat prosaic features. The patent
granted for leap litter for collins" had
O certain combination of obscurity and
gloom which excited a reflective melan-
choly, but as the next invention on the
list was "shank stiffener," there was q
reaction of curiosity to ascertain whether
the two inventions had anything in COM
mon. Another invention, a ''sole and
heel edge blacker for boots and Shoes"
struck me as an evidence of the way in
which convenient appliances for polishing
the understanding, so to speak, have been
specialized. My imagination had some
scope in determining whether the patent
for ''crimping machine" applied to an
invention for the benefit of the lady's
dress or q device for the arrangement of
her hair, and another patent for an "elec-
trio SWITCH left me in uncertainty
whether railroading or hair dressing was
to profit by it. A "heddle for looms"
was even more of puzzle to me, as had
never heard Of the first mentioned article
and could only conjecture that it had
something to do with a weaving machine.

The Tootbsome Carame,.

Although SO many of our pleasantest
things come from France, the caramel is
an American invention of not quite O
dozen years standing. 1t was not known
in Europe till about six years ago; and 1t
Is now made there only by one firm of
confectioners-a London house. A pint of
cream to three pounds of sugar will make
a goodly quantity, boiled together, and
the fiayoring, of whatever desired nature,
added when it reaches 2G0 deg. Fahren-
heit. Pour out the mixture then on fat
dishes to cool, and as soon as it begins to
"set," which is very soon, cut it into
little blocks with sharp blade dipped in
cold water. These will be good for some
time, and are about as innocent a con-
lection as there is to be found. Chicago

Women Who Smoke.

her cigarette, or even cigar, and the

Public Men as Takers.

probably the richest man in the United
States, hardly ever travels alone. He is
always attended by some friends. He is
averse TO interviews. Phil Armour. the
Chicago pork and beef packer, is another
pretty good interrogation. Whitelaw Reid

talks, but more frequently he excuses

THE GENUINE TURKISH BATHS.
Interior of q Hamam, or Bathing Estab-
Iishment-In q Cloud Of Vapor.

Interior of q Hamam, or Bathing Estab-
Iishment-In a Cloud Of vapor.
The bathing establishments, or ha-
mans, consist of large octagonal or circu-
lar halls, paved with fiagstones, around
which run stone seats or very hard divans.
In these halls, which are heated to excess
and filled with steam, the bathers have
themselves washed, rubbed and sham
pooed by employees called telaks, who,
with their hands incased In hair gloves,
knead the flesh vigorously until it becomes
clean, flexible and soft like satin.
Men go to the bath singly, and remain
there only an hour or two; but women 60
there in parties, and sometimes pass the
entire day there, drinking syrups, smok-
ing cigarettes, eating rhat loukoum and
sweetmeats and sleeping on divans or in
small beds placed around the bath room.
The exterior of the hamams presents
nothing very remarkable. They are large
low structures, built of brick, covered
with stucco, and always paved with mar
bic. They are lighted only by small,
round skylights set in the cupolas and
provided with greenish panes, which
throw into the rooms dim light resem-
bling moonlight and very favorable to re-
pose A furnace underneath heats the
building by means of pipes which are run
all through the walls even. The temper
allure is raised to forty, fifty and sixty de-
grees Centigrade.
After undressing the bathers envelop
themselves in long wrap pechtumaD
and make delightful plunge into cloud
of vapor, which produces, even In the
case of the leanest, profuse and debilita.
ting perspiration. One puts ON clogs,
which look like small stills, to protect
ones feet from the extreme heat Of the
floor. There are large white marble urns
fastened against the wall, which receive
cold and boiling water by separate faucets;
it is around these urns that all the purifi-
cations commanded by the Koran are
made. Seated upon little cedar stool,
the bather pours upon his head and body
large bowls of water, which he heats to
tie desired temperature by the faucets.
The hamams, of which there are more
than 800 in STEAMBOAT alone, have no
fixed tariff. The charges depend upon
the look and the dress of the bather and
vary from two sous to twenty-three
francs. Rich pashas sometimes hire them
outright for their families, and think that
if they pay less than forty Turkish livres
($1S, they have done something deroga-
tory to their dignity. On the other hand,
beggars and poor people are admitted free
of charge to certain baths designed for
their use; and this is blessing to them
as well as to their neighbors; for these Pc
riodical additions diminish their extreme
filthiness and arrest the growth of the
vermin nourished at their expense.-The

6EArHLESs.

There lies in the center of each mans heart
A longing and love for the good and pure.
And if but an atom or larger part,
tell you this shall endure, endure.
After the body has gone to decay
Yea, after the world has passed away.
The longer live and the more see
OF the struggle Of souls toward heights above,
The stronger this truth comes home to me,
That the universe rests on the shoulders OF
Love
Love so limitless, deep and broad,
That men have renamed 1t and called 1t God.
And nothing that ever was born or evolved,
Nothing created by light or force,
But deep in its system there lies dissolved
A shining drop from the great Love Source
A shining drop that shall live for aye,
Tho kingdoms may perish and stars may die.

A Wonderful Memory.

L heard the other day an instance of
the great tenacity of memory possessed by
N. p. Banks. Some days ago Gen. I. F.
Shepard read poem at q gathering at
East Boston, and was followed by Gen.
Banks, who delivered an address of an
hour in length, reading it from manu-
script. A week later the two gentlemen
met on similar occasion in another city,
and Gen. Shepard was surprised to hear
Banks deliver the same address extern
pore without the apparent change of a
word. Upon inquiry he learned that
Banks had not even looked at the manu-
script since the first evening.

A Very Sacred Oath.

They have no Bible in the French courts
to swear on, and the crucifix which was
used for that purpose has been removed.
But now and then witness needs to swear
by something, as in a judicial examination

murder. A cab driver was asked If he
could swear to certain testimony he had
given. He raised his hand in a tragic
manner toward heaven and exclaimed in
stentorian tone: 81 swear it, Monsieur lie
